Servicing the drivetrain system can help you save money by saving other parts of your vehicle. A bad drivetrain can put undue stress on other vehicle parts and lead to premature wear and tear.

What are the symptoms of a damaged BMW drivetrain system?

How often will I need BMW 735i differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. We generally recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

Why is my 735i malfunction indicator light (MIL) on?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your 735i’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Can my 735i malfunction warning light be reset at home?

It may be tempting to reset the malfunction warning light on your 735i, but it's important to resist the urge.

Is my 735i’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your 735i’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your 735i forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
